Planning A journey tips from RAC

Plan your route in advance of your journey and have an alternative at the ready in case of delays. Check local radio stations or RAC Route planner at www.rac.co.uk
Allow extra time for your journey, especially if you are heading for a popular resort or you are travelling at peak times
Make sure you have enough fuel for your journey. Be aware that the stop/start actions of sitting in traffic jams use more fuel
Checking oil and water levels and the pressure and condition of the tyres before setting off could help to prevent a breakdown
